NVDA: Oracle using NVDA GPUs in Cloud

Oracle announced today that it’s bringing the power of our latest Tesla GPU accelerators to its public cloud.

Speaking this morning at Oracle OpenWorld, Don Johnson, the company’s senior vice president of product development, said that Oracle Cloud customers can access NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPU accelerators, starting today. Additionally, he said Oracle will expand its cloud offerings to include Tesla V100 GPUs, the most powerful data center GPUs, based on our latest Volta architecture

…Each P100 cloud instance can deliver the performance of up to 25 non-accelerated servers, dramatically saving money for HPC and AI workloads…

…One of the first to access the new NVIDIA GPU offering from Oracle Cloud is Fluent.ai. Inc. — a member of NVIDIA’s Inception program for AI startups. Fluent.ai offers the world’s first acoustic-only speech recognition technology to OEMs wanting to make their consumer electronics voice enabled…

And, cloud customers will be able to glean even more performance and cost-savings from our new NVIDIA V100 GPUs. With more than 120 teraflops of deep learning performance per GPU, a single Volta GPU offers the equivalent performance of 100 CPUs.

Seems like every major cloud company is using NVDA GPUs. It’s going to be interesting to see how NVDA’s data center business performs in the quarter that ends at the end of October…
